Everyone has got Ability, but sadly, not all have got the Opportunity. We're all quick to blame the Prostitute, but we've got no idea about what pushed her to that Institute. We're all quick to say "She's merely a Tailor" but if she didn't struggle to be one, we'll still call her a Failure. Now he's done his best to become a Mechanic, and you gore him, tell me, who's going to fix your engine when it starts to Panic? You say he's too gifted to be a Bricklayer, but you hardly remembered him in your Prayer. *Deep thoughts here. Life Kicks Everyone's Ass One Time Or The Other. The best of men do not get the best of life everytime, and the ones who seem to be getting the best of life at the moment must have had their butts kicked by it one time or the other. Stay hopeful in this fight for success. Once you keep it strong you'll still get there. Its not the Honourable that turns Capable, but the Capable turns Honourable. Today you'

Millionaire offers $65 million to any man that can woo his daughter A businessman from Hong Kong has offered a $65 million dowry to any man who can win the heart of his lesbian daughter. Cecil Chao announced the financial reward of HK$500 million after his daughter, Gigi, married her same-sex partner of seven years in France earlier this year. “I don’t mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind hearted,” 76-year-old Chao was quoted as saying. “Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work,” he added. He also rejected “false reports” that Gigi, 33, had married abroad, saying she was still single. Chao, who owns publicly-listed property developer Cheuk Nang, could not be reached for comment. Same-sex marriages are not recognised in Hong Kong, a socially conservative Chinese city where homosexuality was decriminalised in 1991. Chao is well known in Hong Kong’s soci

Life's essay has got so many punctuation marks repeated as many times as possible, but features just one Full stop. *If you've not gotten the ".", then you don't give up, it simply means the essay continues. Challenges that come in life, merely punctuates the free flow of life essays, as none is capable of ending it. As we journey through life, we'll encounter situations and occurrences that could feature more than once in a lifetime. Life's essay is only ended where death (The Full stop) meets it, and until that final punctuation, no punctuation (Situation) should be mistaken as the end of the road. Life's essay comes in different styles and formats; Some have it long, Some have it short, Some have it suspense filled, Some have it thrilling, Some equally have it free flowing. What you're faced with at the moment(once it doesn't kill you), can only be a part of the essay, and it will sooner than later COME TO PASS away. Friends, because you w

"The recent happenings in the northern parts of the country might just be signs of God's own justice on that part of the country which is characterized by the dreaded, destructive and life claiming activities of the Boko Haram sect." Popular views from the media and social networks shows that some agrieved citizens of the country who have lost lives of friends, families, and properties couldn't but show no form of sympathy on hearing about the Adamawa flooding, and most recently the over flowing of the River Niger. A tweet I retrieved(respecting anonimity) stated "They better stop blaming Cameroon or any other African neighbour, na God dey punish dem, and na God go punish them for all the people wey dem don kill". Could this be true? Is God begining to punish the North over the prevailing Boko Haram activities? In the wake of the River Niger incidence,no fewer than two million people have been affected by flood in Kogi State as River Niger continues to ov

...Its so amazing, that we leave the main things, to choose the vague things, just to boost our ratings. I go a gazing, I can't but scream, 'na weytin'! When I find myself hating, 'cos on silly things, so much importance we're placing. I see the shame awaiting, Even though today the trail we're blazing, and we're feeling like Masons, in no time, realities we'll be facing. By that time, we'll be shaking, Seeing the many mistakes we've been making, then we'll look up to God and be faithing, a sorry case, we've only just begun the wailing. Life's a mix of PRIORITY and WAITING, Do first the main things, look next, the play things, then you'll be the one dictating, how life's rotating. Akogun Olalekan (c) 2012.

I decided to ask the women themselves,I am going to publish the few answers I got as the response came in. Mind you I didn't edit the responses, So as to bear out their minds,I promised the women their names would not be publicized. Read and Learn from them! Miss A said :We just want happiness,Its broad I know but thats what we want. Miss B: I doubt if women know what they want. Even if we list things we think we want or traits Expected in our men.

Miss C : An honest response won't make a difference. Thanks Miss D: There

We’re all allotted the same 24 hours in a day, so why is it that some people manage to accomplish amazing feats with their time while others struggle to maintain even a basic level of productivity? The answer isn’t gallons of coffee or cases of Red Bull.  In fact, the secret is simple!  The people who are able to accomplish more in the amount of time we all have are those who are skilled – whether naturally or through concerted practice – at making their work as effective as possible. If you want to be more successful, one of the easiest ways to bring about this change is to become more effective in your daily work.  Here’s how to do it… Step #1 – Understand the difference between “effective” and “busy” We’re all busy, right?  Take a look at the tired and stressed faces around your office and you’ll see just how “busy” people are these days! But just because we’re busy doesn’t mean that things are getting done effectively.  By understanding how these two key terms differ, you’l
